Dusty springfield little by little if it hadnt been for you - Dusty in Memphis - Wikipedia

When I said, I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn’t me who changed, but you
And now you’ve gone away

Dusty in Memphis was released by Atlantic Records on 31 March 1969 in the United States and 18 April in the United Kingdom. [17] The album was a commercial failure in both countries, only reaching number 99 on the American album charts and failing to chart altogether on the British Top 40 . According to music journalist Peter Robinson , its failure stalled Springfield's career rather than revive it, although the record eventually became "a popcultural milestone [and] timeless emotional reference point" for listeners who discovered it in second-hand shops or purchased one of its several reissues years later. [18] Robert Christgau called it "a pop standard and classic", predicting in his 1973 column for Newsday it would be "the kind of record that will sell for years because its admirers need replacement copies, and it is the perfect instance of how a production team should work." [19] Greil Marcus was less enthusiastic in Rolling Stone , deeming some of the songwriting inconsistent on what was "a real drifting, cool, smart, sexually distracted soul album". [14]

The Look of Love album was first released on CD by Mercury Records / Universal Music in 1999, then with four bonus tracks.
